The fever finally became manageable around 10:30 Sun. night, so more transfusions were started. He was given a total of 4 units of packed red blood cells plus the one of platelets he received in the ER. He still continues with a low grade fever, but the Dr. feels progress is being made. Exactly what type of infection he has is still unknown. Currently, he is on four broad spectrum antibiotics which we're hoping will take care of the infection. Results for blood cultures take awhile.
Yesterday was a really tough day. Everything imaginable was being done to try to lower his temp. His I.V. tubing was iced down, different meds given, and we were soaking wash clothes in tubs of ice water and placing them on his body. My hands were frozen of course, so then I could warm 'em up (at least get the blood flowing again) by touching his feverish arms. It was a relief when his temp finally lowered.
Please keep him in your prayers. At this point he is saying he is finished with chemo. He does not want to go that route again. Even the Dr. today is saying that he is not sure we should go for another round. It's going to be a tough call.

Love you all,
